High Power Microwave Systems And Effects (Electromagnetics Library)

Presenting the subject of HPM'S from their generation to their inadvertent reception, this book provides the reader with current knowledge and probable future developments. Information is given on current output levels, system considerations and the resulting, biological, electrical and electronic effects from microwave illumination. Example designs are provided for HPM systems along with estimates of the radiated power densities and the fluences developed. Various antennas are considered and specifications are presented for specific applications to HPM defensive weapon systems. Also discussed is the radiation of HPM, system interaction analysis, and hardening design protection from HPM.
